Lin Yuqing comes from a family of three generations of anti-narcotics heroes. Every one of her closest relatives has died on the front lines of the drug war. Having experienced the darkness and sacrifice firsthand, she risked everything to protect her only younger brother, Lin Xusheng, and did all she could to stop him from entering the high-risk field of anti-narcotics work. But Lin Xusheng was stubborn. He trained at the police academy alongside Bai Tingyu and, thanks to his exceptional abilities, earned a special place on the elite 114 Major Crimes Unit. A horrific infant bloodbath wiped out the entire team, leaving only four survivors. After the team was reconstituted, Bai Tingyu took command of the 615 Major Crimes Anti-Narcotics Unit, while Lin Xusheng chose to conceal his identity and go undercover deep in the criminal underworld, investigating the truth behind the massacre.
A steely police spirit is no match for the all-powerful hand of a wealthy family.
Lin Yuqing, a top forensic pathologist, once used conclusive evidence to expose the Fu family's cross-border drug trafficking. The powerful family retaliated by framing her, suspending her, and stripping her of her authority. Her superiors secretly transferred her to B City as head of its forensic team in an attempt to protect her. But the Fu family's influence reached across the country. They applied pressure across provincial lines, had her fired, and shut off every path forward.
She and Bai Tingyu had never known each other before and had no connection whatsoever. They had only briefly worked together on the first case after her transfer to B City, meeting once as strangers.
It was only when he reviewed the case files afterward that Bai Tingyu discovered that the disgraced woman who had left the force was the older sister of Lin Xusheng, his partner in life-and-death situations. He also uncovered the truth of how she had been wronged. Even more unexpectedly, he learned that the forensic mentor's position on the 615 Unit had been left vacant for years after their mentor died on duty, and that the mentor had been Lin Yuqing's teacher.
Despite resistance and exclusion within the team, Bai Tingyu made an exception and offered her a position. Their chance first meeting unlocked one long-buried secret after another. The Fu family's hidden drug empire, the truth behind the old team's massacre, the undercover agent's peril, and the unsolved mysteries haunting three generations of the Lin family: all these shocking enigmas begin to unravel.
